Booth v. State

Summary

The court affirmed Booth's convictions, holding that the jury's initial guilty verdicts on felony murder, elder neglect, involuntary manslaughter, and reckless conduct were not mutually exclusive because the offenses could be based on the same conduct while requiring different levels of mens rea. The court also held that the jury was not legally dispersed when recalled because its members remained together at the courthouse, and Booth showed no prejudice from the renewed deliberations. No separate opinions were filed.
